Branch and Representative office in Latvia

Articles on enterpreneurship >> Branch and Representative office in Latvia

According to the Commercial Law, local and foreign companies may establish branch offices in Latvia.

A branch is an organizationally independent part of a company that can carry out economic activities, but is not treated as a legal entity. A branch is subject to the same reporting obligations as registered companies, and the head office of the branch is fully liable for activities carried out by the branch.

Representative offices, similar to branches, are not independent legal entities. Representative offices cannot perform economic activities and their functions are limited to market research, promotion of the parent company and other limited marketing activities.
